"Happy Christmas Eve"

"Happy Christmas Eve"

The snow is falling
Look out the window with me
Come and hold me tenderly
And watch the wind blow
And the people passin' by
The snow is in the street
The kids are fast asleep
We're all alone now
Happy Christmas eve

I'll turn the lights down
And set the tree aglow
You wrap the presents
And trim the bow
And say you'll love me
For another year
The stockings have been hung
The carols have been sung
We're all alone now
Happy Christmas eve

"Hard To Be Cool (In A Minivan)"

"Hard To Be Cool (In A Minivan)"

Sitting at a red light
Down around Sunset
Girl pulled up beside me,
In a candy-apple red Corvette
She pulled down her shades, gave me a wink,
Gave her a little smile back.
Then she laughed as she hit the gas,
I remembered where I was at.
[CHORUS:]
'Cause it’s hard to be cool when you’re behind the wheel
Of an eight-passenger automobile.
In a big bubble, cruisin’ down the street,
With-a Barney blarin’ and a baby seat.
Hey, it can be done, but I’m tellin’ you man,
It’s hard to be cool in a minivan.
I used to have a souped-up hotrod,
Man I spared no costs.
Two-eighty four, four-on-the-floor,
Headers and dual-exhaust.
About the time the family came,
Well that’s the first thing that went,
The preacher said, "For better or worse..."
Now I know just what he meant.
[CHORUS:]
Now, I wouldn’t change my life a bit,
I’m a lucky man I know.
Just wish my wife and kids could fit,
In a ’67 GTO. Ho-ho-ho.
[CHORUS:]
Come on boys, can I hear an "Amen"?
It’s hard to be cool in a minivan.
I'm tryin' to be cool.
You kids keep it down back there,
Don't make me pull this thing over.
I mean it.
Honey, I am not lost. I am NOT lost.
I promise you, I know where I'm goin'.

"He Did It All For Me"

"He Did It All For Me"

Once a man whom we know as the Son of God
Hung upon a cruel tree
He suffered pain as no mortal man
He took my place, He did it all for me

When I step just inside those gates - those gates of pearl
And the master's face I see
I'll gladly kneel at his nail-scarred feet
Oh praise the Lord, He did it all for me

He did it all for me
Each drop of blood was shed for even me
When the savior cried, bowed his head and died
Oh praise the Lord, He did it all for me

Oh praise the Lord, He did it all for me

"He's Gonna Smile On Me"

"He's Gonna Smile On Me"

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Often there was times when I had to go without
Right now I'm happy as I can be
If I treat people right He's gonna smile on me

He's gonna smile on me
He's gonna smile on me
If I just say my prayers at night
And treat people right He's gonna smile on me

I've been falsely accused and many times misused
But to get revenge I just simply refuse
Instead I'm happy as I can be
If I treat people right He's gonna smile on me

I've been called a fool and used just like a tool
But I still believe in the golden rule
And right now I'm so happy as I can be
If I treat people right He's gonna smile on me

"Hear My Heart Beat"

"Hear My Heart Beat"

Hoping baby that you’ve got a notion
To give me some of that sweet love potion.
Come on honey, it’s so easy.
You’ve got what it takes to please me
Long tanned legs, big brown eyes
You’re a first class ticket to paradise.
Paradise, mmm
I’m gonna put my arms around you
And I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’ll love you, squeeze you, try to please you
Hear my heart beating for you.
It’s going bom, bom, bom, bom bom, bom, heartbeat,
bom bom, bom, bom, bom, bom heartbeat
bom bom, bom, bom, bom, bom heartbeat
bom bom, bom, bom, bom, bom heartbeat,
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat.
Working hard down at the factory
Watch the clock, he said until three
Later on, me and you baby.
Are going to make some sweet love, maybe
Hair combed back socks pulled up.
I’ve spent three hours shining my pick-up truck
Ah my pick-up truck, mmm.
I’m gonna put my arms around you
And I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’ll love you, squeeze you, try to please you
Hear my heart beating for you.
It’s going bom, bom, bom, bom bom, bom, bom, heartbeat,
bom bom, bom, bom, bom, bom heartbeat
bom bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, heartbeat
Ah hear my heartbeat, it’s a beating for you,
Ah hear my heartbeat, it’s a beating for you oo oo,
Hear my heartbeat, you know it’s beating for you
Ah hear my heartbeat, it’s a beating for you oo oo,
Ah hear my heartbeat, you know it’s a beating for you
Ah hear my heartbeat, it’s a beating for you. [to fade out]

"Heart Of Mine"

"Heart Of Mine"

There wasn’t much love on the day you came
I was feeling my way with a heart gone lame
Life was so cold right then
I thought I’d never love again
Though my dreams of romance blew away with the wind
Oh my heart beat slow.
Heart of mine
Can we try it one more time?
Can you help but love a girl so free, so kind?
Lonely tears helped me waiting all these years
For the day I felt the joy of love inside
When my heart’s alive.
Believe me I know that the truth sounds strange, oh yer
How an innocent smile made my whole life change. mm mm
You call it coincidence
But I knew she was heaven sent
When I felt that my heart was beginning to mend
Now my heart beats fast.
Heart of mine
I think we made it just in time
We can’t help but love a girl so free so kind
Lonely tears helped me looking all those years
And today I felt the joy of love inside
Yes my heart’s alive.
And growing stronger all the time.
Heart of mine
I think we made it just in time
You can’t help but love a girl so free, so kind.
Lonely tears helped me looking all those years
And today I felt the joy of love inside.
Heart of mine
I think we made it just in time
We can’t help but love a girl so free so kind
Lonely tears [fading]

"Heart On The Line"

"Heart On The Line"

I thought it over how it's come to this
I must have lost all my common sense
I've been chasing a dream
Running through my mind
I called her up to say how I felt
But just before I could get it out
She was gone, silence was on the line
I didn't hear a word she just hung up the telephone

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (my last dime)
She put my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Well I was always just one step ahead
Yet close enough to keep my fingers wet
I've been actin' to fool no one but myself, yes I have
Well I'm willin' to talk if you're willin' to hear
The choice of words is my biggest fear
I'd say anything just to change your mind
You've got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (very last dime)
She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

Oh operator, operator, would you be so kind
As to reconnect my number, I just spent my last dime (one nickel at a time)
She's got my love on hold and my heart is on the line

"Heaven On Earth"

"Heaven On Earth"

Traffic’s bumper to bumper, cars and trucks wall to wall
Figured I could either go crazy or give her a call
So I give her a call
Nothing like the sound of her voice, oools me off, calms me down
Makes me wanna climb on the hood of my Chevy and shout
I do believe friends, I do believe I’ve found

[CHORUS:]
Heaven on earth, heaven on earth
A home grown helping of heaven on earth
She looks that look, smiles that smile
I love the way she loves me while
She’s holdin’ my hand, kissin’ my kiss
I guess the only question is
What did I ever do, look at me
What did I ever do to deserve
Heaven on earth?

Don’t know how many million people or how many million souls
Are out there searchin’ for their very own true blue love
To have and to hold.
In the meanwhile here I stand, livin’ large, top of the world.
Got me a woman, when she walks my way I say
Here comes my girl, man, I say her comes my girl.

[CHORUS:]
She’s holdin’ my hand, kissin’ my kiss.
I guess the only question is
What did I ever do, look at me
What did I ever do to deserve
Heaven on earth.

[CHORUS:]
Woo Heaven on earth, heaven on earth
A home grown helping of heaven on earth.
My girl, that’s her, heaven on earth.
Heaven on earth, heaven on earth
A home grown helping of heaven on earth
She looks that look, smiles that smile
Here she comes.
Woo Heaven on earth, heaven on earth
A home grown helping of heaven on earth.
